Olivia made my wedding planning so easy and worry free, I was pregnant for most of the planning and then had my baby 2 months before the wedding so Olivia handled EVERYTHING and it was way more than I could have ever dreamed of. Super professional and her attention to detail is extraordinary.

There is no doubt in my mind that my wedding would have been VERY different had I not had Olivia and her team there to help set it up, design it, and run it. I had Lavish Engagements booked for the following services: day of coordination, design and decor, and next day clean up. ... View moreTo call Olivia and her team superstars would be a massive understatement. Olivia knew all the fantastic vendors in the valley very well, and was quick on her feet to adapt to the changing situation when a fire shut down our primary rental vendor 2 months before the wedding. She went to bat for me with the replacement vendor and demanded nothing but the best for her brides!
She was always available, always there to recommend tweaks, changes, vendors, and always there with a reassuring confidence that screamed "I've got this" no matter that was thrown at her and her team.
The day itself was perfect, flawless, beautiful, and I KNOW we wouldn't have been able to pull it off without them.
I would 100%, without a doubt, no hesitation, don't even stop and THINK, recommend Olivia and her team for any event that you need executed with perfection and professionalism. She was amazing to work with, and I'll make sure for my second and third marriages she is at the top of my list of priority vendors.
HUGE thanks to Olivia and her team for the pinterest-perfect design work, the countless hours of steaming the tablecloths and setting up, and the sneak-attack next-day clean up. I can't thank you enough for all of your hard work!

I would highly recommend Olivia and her team. I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew Olivia and her team were on it. I was left to enjoy our wedding day with no phone calls or questions about the set up. She was worth every penny and I encourage every bride to do the ... View moresame! Without a doubt, hiring her team was the best decision I made :) In the photo I attached you can see Olivia going above and beyond... she fluffed my dress right before walking up the aisle... something I wouldn't have done!

Cody and I selected Olivia with Lavish Engagements to make our wedding a dream come true! We purchased the full package- trust us, it's a super sweet deal! Olivia recommended all the BEST Vancouver Island vendors (Campbell River Florist, Decorate Victoria with Huff N Puff, Always ... View moreInvited Event Rentals and Four Frames!). Apart of the full package deal, she's coordinators all of your needs with all the vendors, organizes the contact information and will do her best to seal the deal that fits your wedding budget. She provided the highest professional service and QUALITY experience. By quality, I mean, she places the brides first, while also handling all wedding party/family members inputs towards the wedding ... without it being overpowering the bride and grooms wishes.
To describe just how above-and-beyond Olivia did, let me tell you about our dream wedding. We had over 300 guests attend our wedding, a band, DJ and piano player. We had a dessert station along with specialty tea's and coffee. Did we mention our amazing photo booth and gift station she arranged. Lastly, our wedding was originally support to take place outside, however less than 15 hours to our wedding, she secured us the entire golf course to say our vows!
Olivia will make the bride feel at ease, beautiful and heard- seriously book her already!
Sincere thanks and gratitude, Alissa and Cody Assu (11/15/2016, Campbell River, BC)
